A Boom.

Tell me not in mournful numbers
That the town is full of gloom.
For the mans crank who slumbers
In these bursting days Of boom.
Life is real. life is earnest,
And the grave is not its goal;
Every dollar that thou turnest
Helps to make the old town roll.
But enjoyment, and not sorrow.
Is our destined end or way;
II YOU have no money, borrow
Buy corner lot each day.
Lives of great men all remind us
We can win immortal fame;
Let as leave the chumps behind us,
And We'll get there just the same.
In this worlds broaG aeld Of battle,
In the bivouac of life.
Let US make the dry bones rattle
Buy corner lot for wife.
Let us, then, be up and doing.
With heart for any fate;
Still achieving. still pursuing,
Booming early, booming late.
